That's a pretty cool idea and at only $178.00 a great deal ! I wonder if they can build our housings and grind our shafts for that price ? Think I'll call them tomorrow.

Agreed !

I know it needs to be done, and it will be done. Some of you may be retired and do nothing but MV's all day. I cannot, I'm 25 and work my a55 off to pay my school bills, Snapon bills, insurance, etc, AND I was lucky enough to find a deuce that I could afford. What I'm getting at is the truck is...

Do you service it regularly ? If you keep it adjusted and lubed it should not "freeze" on you. I've had mine set for months at a time and never had a "freeze" problem.

Now your just being mean ! :beer:

Those are all 400 Hz units. Don't know what MEP they fit though.

Then you didn't get a M35A2 wiring harness. Send it back and go to one of the real MV venders sites and buy the correct one.

You say your a "road side Mechanic" and you ask us if it's OK to "not" run a parking brake on a 2.5 ton truck ? Are you kidding me ?!?! Any diesel truck mechanic knows the "Law" says that the truck "Must" have a park brake and it "Must" be able to stop the truck at 5 MPH . This applies to...

Your truck looks just like mine now with those DuraTracs ! Except mine is tan. :sad: Never liked the tan color. I also love the fifth wheel ! Now If I can just convince the wife to sell that 24ft trailer and get a good fifth wheel !

Good work, looks great !

V belts are very inefficient at transferring power to the accessories on the belt so I've seen claims that you can gain several HP to the wheels for every v belt you replace with a more efficient serpentine belt that isn't going to be slipping. I think a 10-20hp gain from eliminating all the v...

Good to hear that the advice we "first" gave you worked. ;)

The old "catch 22" thing. I hate that !

If you like shifting then they would be great. Personally I don't like shifting anymore especially when going on a long trip or towing anything.

Back when I was rebuilding them the shop got $800.00 for them. But that was a long time ago now.

That's why there was a modification to them in the monthly "PS magazine" .

Actually the hammer trick is more for the commutator not the solenoid. When the brushes and copper bars on the commutator get dirty or corroded you will not get enough current "flowing". So by whacking the starter housing your moving the shaft enough to be able to pick-up another bar on the...

It already comes with a plug for a temperature gauge. Since I run a good grade Synthetic gear oil in mine I didn't bother installing one.

The way your describing the "sound /vibration" now is pointing to the transmission not the driveline. Can you take the transmission cover off and do a quick check ? You have checked all the fluid levels of the transmission and transfer-case right ?

I forgot to mention that lack of horsepower of the engine, thankfully "Chaski" brought it up. In my truck even with a 383 Hi-Torque gas engine I put in I can barely maintain 55 pulling our 24ft trailer going up "Snoqualmie Pass" . I have the factory TH400 (modified of course :wink:) and I wished...
